Are you willing to move into an office job or rather be more labour-intensive? If you want an office job that pays enough for you to get by - send me a PM and I will hook you up. Don't expect too much as it will probably office admin behind a desk.

Can most likely get you a job in tiling. The work is harsh, hours are harsh, money is shit for the first 6-12months but you can't expect to have no experience, qualifications and just get into a high paying job. I was in your situation too, now i am back in school because i made the wrong choice by just "wanting to work for money".

Think about it =]

(The tiling job on pays $12.50/hour) After 6 months it will come up about $22.50/hour, depends on YOU. The work is very rough though. Hours between 6.30am - 8.30pm

Send me PM if interested.

mate u are the perfect age to start an apprenticeship, Electrical, Plumbing, Carpentry.. etc.. Sure the money wont be great when u start. but if u do half decent at it you'll be making 30-50$ dollars an hour when your 22 y.o, DO IT!

get a apprenticeship, im 21 and in my first year and you WILL NOT LOOK BACK yeah the moneys not great but you wont be a shit kicker all your life and you will be on very good money once your qualified.

Mate i was in your position not long ago all i did was chase money at the end the best i could do was nearly 700 a week im 27 now and toward the end i felt depressed and shitty because i was applying for all these apprenticeships and no one wanted me fair enough too.and not just that all my friends where trade qualified or had uni degrees and where earning good money.its a shit feeling being poor mate.LISTEN and listen good do an apprenticeship and find one you like offer your services for free on weekends or during the week or whatever suits you best just because someone says do electrical you may not like it try them all and then make your choice then go do a pre apprenticeship ,you may get picked up during the pre apprenticeship.if you have the intelligence maybe do a uni degree but at the end youll have to pay back a tidy amount of money ,with an apprenticeship you get paid to learn and your debt free at the end and you can earn about the same money as a uni grad

theres no future in unskilled work change youre life now while you can because you might find it very difficult later on .theres also all sorts of incentives from the government now do it mate while you can

thanks for the replies guys,

im definatley going to do an apprenticeship first thing next year, i just cant decide what direction i wanna follow.

the main reason i havent looked at an apprenticeship just yet is purely money issues, in my current situation i cant afford 1st year wages wich is why i will be starting one next year.

i want to do a mechanical apprenticeship but i dont wanna destroy my enjoyment i get from cars, are any of you guys mechanics by trade and still get excited to work on your own car?

thanks again for all your suggestions and thoughts

Agreed with the above - i got a huge hecs and pels bill....and still studying - at the moment trying to get out of my current work and move to soemthing thats more worthwhile.....

Trades is hard work, but the money is good - and like boo5tr said you wont be a shit kicker.

Most of the mechanics I know don't enjoy their job. These people weren't really in to cars in the first place, so why they chose that path is a bit of a mystery. The pay even when you're qualified is not good, but you can supplement your income by doing backyarders.

I'd suggest carpentry as an apprenticeship. They get paid very well, especially working for yourself. My cousin was clearing $2000 a week as a chippy when we were both about 22, while I was working in an office earning $600. He was working a lot of hours though.

Earn enough money and you can work on your car as a hobby and possibly get more joy from it than working on other peoples cars everyday.

If you are after a decent wage after your apprenticeship dont go for a service mechanic.

Getting a trade is a good start though, can lead into other jobs in the same field.

If you need a job fast, get a fork lift license. I know guys on $25/hr plus!

lol ruffels, a good mate is a second year sparky, went into that after the company he'd done 3 years of an electronics apprenticeship at went broke, he's on about 9 bucks an hour yet does everything a tradies does. Apparently sparkies don't have adult apprentice rates in their award :P

I did 3 years of an apprenticeship in printing before getting shafted by the company, spent an entire year trying to get another trade type apprenticeship before I landed my current role which sees me back in IT (way more flexible in terms of work options and also less stress than printing).

Trades are really where it's at, but I'd advise against anything manufacturing based like printing, there's less places to work, and most are reducing the manpower required.

I guess it comes down to whether the business wants cheap labour or they actually want to train someone to do the job, that was the main problem I found with trying to get another apprenticeship/traineeship, that they just want douches who barely passed year 10 so they can legally pay them $250 gross a week!

you also lucked out with several guys in here offering to hook you up!

Im actually a printer also. Been in the trade 8 years. The money is good but the job is very stressful at times. Like anything i guess lol.

Printing is a dying trade though. Not what it use to be. Companies are falling over left and right. Including my last employer, i was very lucky to get another job considering there are hundreds of out of work printers out there.

    • Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
    • I'm 22 years younger than you mark, and I'm operating in the exact same way! Ha ha ha
    • All clamps are oem    one question is , what is the bit at the top on high pressure pipe where it connectes to intake manifold and other side goes toward the engine( see item in red circle in diabram attached)   ? Seen some people stating that should be removed on boosted application and skyline is boosted from manufacture so little puzzled. Mine is around 23pwi (700 hpish)   also some state it could be the bonjo bolt crash washer so bought two washers
    • what do you mean dead platform? People buy older, out dated and less power cars on "Dead platforms" for over $65k all the time.
    • That is really nice! Very nice finish when you have an oven to do the crinkling nice and evenly!
